PIPE-HANGER.

To all whom it may concern: I 1

Be it knownthat I,-Mrcnann Somme, a citizen the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg,

in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe-Hangers, of which the following isa specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawing. I This invention relates to pipe hangers, and the invention has ior its object to provide a simple and inexpensive hanger in which a pipe can be easily and quickly suspended. r v

Another object oi this invention as to provide a strongand durablehanger for detachably supporting a v pipe. To this end I have devised'a pipe hanger consisting of two semi-cylindrical members loosely connected together, one of said members being provided .with a bifurcated end having depending lugs adapted to interlock with the shouldered end of the adjoining members,- said members being'held together upon a" pipe by a sleeve serving to suspend the hanger from a suitable support. l

. The detail construction entering into my invention will be hereinafter more fully described and thenv specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing forming a part of this specification, like numerals of reference designate corre-, sponding parts throughout the several views, in'which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved pipe hanger, Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating the members thereof in open position and partly in section, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the end of one of said-members, Fig.

' over the former.

4 'i's a similar view oi the end of the adjoining mem-' bers, and Fig.- 5 is a: sectional detail of the hinge or pivotal connection of the members of a hanger.

In the drawings 1 and 2 denote a pair of straps, substantially semi-cylindrical in contour, with the lower end of each strap cut away as at 3 and apertured as at. 4. The cut away portion of one strap is alternately disposed with respect to the cut away portion of the other strap so that the ends of the straps can be mounted upon each other. The apertured ends of the straps have extending therethrough a screw bolt 5 carrying a nut 6 for the purpose of pivoting the straps together.

The upper end of each of the straps are bent upwardly as at 7 and provided with inwardly extendingenlarge 'mentsl' The enlargement'of the strap isindicated-by the reference character 8".
